An arson attack at Brighton and Hove Pride caused £30,000 damage to a block of portable toilets.
The toilets, on the north side of the park near Preston Park Avenue, were deliberately set alight at about 10pm on Saturday 7 August.
Detectives from Sussex Police are trying to find the person who started the fire.

“This is a serious offence and I’m keen to speak to anyone with information, particularly to a group of around five youths aged 16-20 who were seen running from the area at the time of the fire.”
Fire investigators from East Sussex Fire and Rescue have confirmed that the fire was started deliberately.
